A new study from the University of York has found that a straightforward change in car design could significantly reduce harmful air pollution on UK pavements. Moving exhaust pipes from the left side to the right side of diesel cars could cut roadside pollution by up to a third. The research team discovered that cars with exhausts on the left side (closest to the pavement in the UK, where vehicles drive on the left) create 40% more pollution at pavement level compared to cars with right-sided exhausts. “These findings demonstrate that even seemingly small details in vehicle design can have … Continue reading Moving Diesel Car Exhausts to Right Side Could Cut UK Pavement Pollution by a Third
